Who we are

Universal Design has been defined as “the design of products and environments to be usable by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design.” This definition was developed by the architect Ron Mace, FAIA, an architect and the founder of the Center for Universal Design at N.C. State University. In recent years, architects and designers in the US and abroad have come to recognize significant and growing overlaps between Universal Design principles and emerging values of social and environmental sustainability.

Advice Please: 1928 Northern CA/ Central Valley Residence

  • 1.  Advice Please: 1928 Northern CA/ Central Valley Residence

    Posted 06-28-2015 11:29 PM

    Greetings!

    We own a lovely 1928 brick home in San Joaquin County, and we would like to be ready to care for our elderly mother in her sunset years.  I am hoping to make contact with someone who has a love for unique older homes, who can help us determine how to prepare the home without destroying the style and unique flavor of the home. 

    We are at the very beginning of the process and don't want to put this project in the wrong hands.  I am confident that someone in this group can help me/us get the conversation and planning started.

    Thank you, 

    Ruth Kemalyan Weis
